🜏 Introduction 🜏

Hello, and welcome.

My name is Evelyn Sterling. I am a Theistic Satanist who also practices witchcraft. I spend a great deal of time researching demons, Hell, and demonology as a whole. I primarily work within the Ars Goetia and follow the Left-Hand Path.

The purpose of this blog is to share my personal experiences, research, and perspectives while encouraging others to explore these topics for themselves. One of my greatest hopes is that my words may inspire people to ask questions, seek knowledge, and perhaps open their eyes in the same way I believe Lord Satan has opened mine.

If you ever have questions, feel free to message me. I'm happy to answer most questions to the best of my ability.

That said, it's important to remember that Satanism has no single universal doctrine. My beliefs and experiences are my own, and I am simply another resource among many. I don't claim to have all the answers or to be any sort of miracle worker. If I can help point you in the right direction, however, I will gladly do so.

Above all else, the motto of this blog is simple:

Question everything. Think for yourself. Never stop seeking knowledge.-Evelyn Sterling

🜏 Guilt Within Christianity 🜏

Before anything else, remember this: everything written here is based on my own experiences, personal beliefs, and studies. It is not absolute truth, nor is it meant to tell you what you must believe. One of the core values I have found within Satanism is learning to think for yourself. Question everything, research from multiple sources, and come to your own conclusions.

I want to share my perspective on why some Satanists view God as judgmental or untruthful. I cannot speak for every Satanist, only for myself and the conclusions I have reached through my own experiences and studies.

From my perspective, God judges humanity far more than many people realize. According to Christianity, He created humanity while also establishing standards that He expects us to follow. Yet we are born with emotions, desires, and imperfections that are often condemned as sinful. To me, this creates a contradiction. We are given a human nature and then expected to constantly fight against it.

I agree that we should avoid causing unnecessary harm to others and strive to become better people. However, I do not believe every aspect of human nature should be rejected. Emotions such as anger, sadness, jealousy, or fear are natural. What matters is how we choose to act upon those emotions, not simply the fact that we experience them.

My personal belief is that Christianity often teaches people to suppress parts of themselves rather than understand them. This can leave many believers carrying deep guilt, shame, and fear over feelings that are simply part of being human. If God created us with these qualities, I struggle to understand why we are condemned for possessing them.

For many years, I devoted myself to following God as faithfully as I could. Despite my efforts, I often felt consumed by guilt, shame, fear, and hardship. I watched people who, in my eyes, lived far more selfishly than I did seem to receive the blessings I desperately prayed for, while I felt abandoned and left in darkness.

It was during that darkness that I believe Lord Satan became a guiding light in my life. He challenged me to question, to seek truth, and to open my own eyes rather than accept everything I had been taught without examination. I felt understood rather than condemned. Instead of feeling ashamed for simply being human, I learned to accept my nature while still taking responsibility for my actions.

To me, true wrongdoing is found in the harm we choose to inflict upon others, not in the existence of our emotions or our humanity. My experiences led me to believe that Lord Satan encouraged growth through knowledge, self-awareness, and personal responsibility rather than through fear and guilt.

These are my personal beliefs and experiences. I do not expect everyone to agree with them, and I encourage everyone to study, question, and decide for themselves what they believe to be true.-Evelyn Sterling

🜏 Understand Sin and Satanism 🜏

Before anything else, remember this: everything written here is based on my own experiences, personal beliefs, and studies. It is not absolute truth, nor is it meant to tell you what you must believe. One of the core values I personally find within Satanism is thinking for yourself. Question everything, research from multiple sources, and come to your own conclusions.

From my perspective, sin is simply anything that goes against God. The Bible lists what are commonly known as the Seven Deadly Sins:

• Pride

• Greed

• Lust

• Envy

• Gluttony

• Wrath

• Sloth

To me, these are aspects of human nature. They are emotions, desires, and flaws that exist within nearly everyone.

What, then, is Satan's view of sin? Based on my personal beliefs, I don't see Satan as being nearly as concerned with these traits themselves. Instead, I believe what matters more is how your actions affect yourself and the people around you. If your actions cause unnecessary harm, that is something worth reflecting on. Your own moral compass should matter more than acting out of fear or shame.

I personally believe Satan wants people to reject God, so actions considered sinful by biblical standards are not inherently condemned by him. However, I do not believe that means you should intentionally seek out wrongdoing or try to commit as many sins as possible. In my view, becoming closer to Satan is not about committing cruel or heinous acts. I believe the greatest act of rebellion is simply rejecting God, not harming others.

I also believe that Satan does not shame people for being who they are or for experiencing natural human thoughts, emotions, and desires. Many things labeled as sinful are, in my opinion, simply parts of being human. I believe guilt and shame are too often used to make people fear parts of themselves instead of understanding them.

For me, the healthiest path is to listen to your own conscience. Build your own moral values, think critically, and consider how your actions affect other people rather than whether they satisfy or offend God.

You are more than guilt and shame. But you are also more than your darkest thoughts or impulses. We all carry both light and darkness within us. What truly matters is the choices we make and the kind of person we choose to become.-Evelyn Sterling

🜏 Gender & Sexuality 🜏

What is Satan's view on gender and sexuality?

From my personal beliefs and experiences as a Theistic Satanist, I do not believe Satan values a person based on their gender or sexuality. Instead, I believe he values honesty, authenticity, and personal growth. Being truthful to yourself and embracing who you genuinely are is far more important than trying to meet the expectations of others.

Don't allow other people to convince you that your gender or sexuality determines your worth, whether they claim it makes you more important or less important. Your value comes from being true to yourself and continuing to grow as an individual.-Evelyn Sterling

🜏 How Should You Speak to Demons? 🜏

Before anything else, remember this: everything written here is based on my own experiences, personal beliefs, and studies. It is not absolute truth, nor is it meant to tell you what you must believe. One of the core values I personally find within Satanism is thinking for yourself. Question everything, research from multiple sources, and come to your own conclusions.

If you're wondering where to begin when speaking to Satanic deities, here's my personal guide.

In my opinion, the most important thing is building a genuine relationship with any deity you wish to work with. I primarily work with spirits from the Ars Goetia, along with a few deities outside of it, so I'm speaking from my own experiences.

Every deity is different. Just as every person has their own personality, preferences, and boundaries, so do they. Some may prefer a relaxed, casual relationship, while others may expect a more formal one. Some may become warm and familiar over time, while others may always maintain a certain distance. There is no single approach that works for every being.

Because of this, I believe it's always best to approach them with respect first. Be polite, be sincere, and don't assume familiarity until you've built that relationship. If a deity eventually shows that they're comfortable with a more casual dynamic, that's something that develops naturally over time.

Patience is important. Some deities may open up quickly, while others may take much longer. Don't rush the process or expect immediate closeness. Continue treating them with respect regardless of how long it takes.

If you're ever unsure how to address a deity, I personally believe it's better to be overly respectful than accidentally too casual. Respect is rarely a mistake, while assuming a level of familiarity that hasn't been earned can be.-Evelyn Sterling

🜏 A Beginner's Guide to Satanism 🜏

Before anything else, remember this: this guide is based on my own experiences, studies, and personal beliefs. It is not absolute truth, and it is not meant to tell you what you must believe. One of the most important values found throughout Satanism is to think for yourself. Question everything, research from multiple sources, and come to your own conclusions.

## Learn About the Different Branches of Satanism

Like many religions and spiritual paths, Satanism is not one single belief system. There are many different branches, each with its own philosophy, practices, and understanding of Satan.

Some of the more well-known branches include:

• Theistic Satanism

• LaVeyan Satanism

• Luciferianism

• Romantic Satanism

• Spiritual Satanism

• Traditional Satanism

• Demonolatry (often closely associated, though not always considered Satanism)

Take the time to read about each one before deciding what resonates with you. Don't feel pressured to choose a label immediately.

## My Beliefs as a Theistic Satanist

I personally identify as a Theistic Satanist.

For me, this means I believe Satan is a real deity rather than simply a symbol or metaphor. I believe he exists as an intelligent spiritual being and ruler of Hell who can be worshipped, communicated with, and respected. My relationship with Satan is based on devotion, personal growth, self-responsibility, knowledge, and the freedom to seek my own truth.

However, it's important to understand that not every Theistic Satanist believes the exact same things. Some view Satan as the Biblical Satan, while others see him through different historical, occult, or pagan traditions. Beliefs can vary greatly from one person to another.

## There Is No Single Doctrine

Something I don't see discussed very often is that there is no universal doctrine that every Satanist follows.

Even within the same branch of Satanism, you'll find people with very different beliefs. There may be common values or general ideas shared by members of a particular branch, but there is rarely one set of rules that everyone agrees on.

This is because one of Satanism's strongest themes is independent thought. Rather than accepting beliefs simply because someone tells you to, you're encouraged to question, learn, and build your own understanding.

## Be Careful Who You Trust

My next piece of advice is to be careful about who you trust within Satanic spaces.

Most Satanists are simply people exploring their own path, but there are individuals who may try to present their personal beliefs as absolute fact or pressure you into following their way. Some may even try to take advantage of beginners who are still learning.

Listen to others, but don't stop thinking for yourself. Read books, compare sources, ask questions, and never feel obligated to believe something just because another Satanist says it's true.

## You Do Not Have to Hate Christianity

Another common misconception is that becoming a Satanist means you must hate Christianity or hate Christians.

That simply isn't true.

Many Satanists dislike certain teachings, institutions, or personal experiences they've had, while others have no strong feelings toward Christianity at all. Some even have Christian friends or family whom they love and respect.

Personally, I believe it's healthier to simply move on rather than obsess over hatred. If Christianity is no longer your path, you don't have to spend your life focused on God or resentment. Put that energy into your own beliefs, your own growth, and your own relationship with Satan instead.

## Final Thoughts

There is no race to become a "perfect" Satanist.

Read. Study. Ask questions. Challenge your own beliefs. Accept that your views may change as you learn more. Your spiritual journey is your own, and no one else can walk it for you.

Think for yourself, stay curious, and never stop learning.-Evelyn Sterling
